Occupying an expansive and private plot in one of Eccleston's most sought-after semi-rural locations, Westby is a truly remarkable four-bedroom detached home with a stunning two-storey annex, situated on an acre of land. Immaculately presented throughout and finished to an exceptional standard, this residence offers the perfect blend of sophisticated living, substantial space, and countryside charm.

From the moment you arrive, this exquisite freehold home commands attention. A sweeping in-and-out stone driveway, capable of accommodating over ten vehicles, sets the tone for the scale and grandeur within. The driveway provides access to the integral garage, the main house, and a generous side garden currently utilised as a charming chicken coop – a nod to the property’s rural character.

The home opens into a breathtaking entrance hallway, setting an immediate impression of elegance with its bespoke oak staircase, glass balustrade, and feature hanging light fitting. To the right lies the first reception room – a perfect retreat or formal lounge.

The heart of the home lies in its expansive open-plan living and dining area, flooded with natural light courtesy of floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect the interior to the beautifully landscaped rear garden. Adjoining this space is the showstopping kitchen extension: A masterpiece of contemporary design with vaulted ceilings, skylights, a central island, premium integrated appliances, and bespoke worktops. There's also a comfortable seating area, creating the ultimate space for entertaining or relaxing with family.

Completing the ground floor is a stylish WC, a separate fully fitted utility room, and a versatile third reception room, currently used as a home office.

The first-floor landing leads to four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each offering its own unique appeal. The principal bedroom enjoys sweeping views of the rear garden and is a sanctuary of space and light. Bedroom two features sleek fitted wardrobes and a private en-suite shower room. The remaining two bedrooms also offer integrated storage and enviable views – one with a Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden, and the other with uninterrupted vistas of the surrounding farmland.

A stunning four-piece family bathroom completes the upper level, featuring a double vanity with his-and-hers sinks, a walk-in shower, and contemporary tiling throughout.

One of the defining features of Westby is its fully self-contained two-storey annex – ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or even a luxury home office/studio. Accessed via the garden, this space includes a spacious open-plan living and dining room, a modern fitted kitchen with breakfast bar, and a generous double bedroom with en-suite shower room to the first floor. There is also internal access to the garage, adding further practicality.

The rear garden is an oasis of calm – a vast, meticulously maintained lawn surrounded by mature trees providing exceptional privacy. A generous flagged patio wraps around the house, offering multiple seating and dining areas for outdoor living and entertaining.
